JAKARTA - Israel's Foreign Ministry has accused the Integrated Food Safety Phase Classification System (IPC) of releasing "false reports to adapt to Hamas' fake campaigns," after global hunger monitors declared hunger to occur in most Gaza Strips.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a post on social media X claims the monitor "disrupted its own rules and ignored its own criteria just to produce false accusations against Israel: the IPC changed its own global standards, cut the 30-percent threshold to 15 percent just for this report, and completely ignored the second criterion, namely the death rate," quoted from The Times of Israel 22 August.
The IPC report states that the data analyzed between July 1 and August 15 shows clear evidence that the threshold for hunger and acute malnutrition has been achieved.
Collecting mortality data is indeed more difficult, the monitor acknowledged, but said it made sense to conclude from the evidence that the necessary thresholds had likely been reached.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the overall IPC report "based on Hamas' lies washed through organizations of personal interest."
The report "will be thrown into the trash of a cursed political document," the ministry concluded.

As previously reported, global hunger monitoring for the first time stated hunger had hit the densely populated northern Gaza Strip, about 22 months after the outbreak of war in the enclave following the deadly Hamas invasion of Israel in October 2023.
The Integrated Food Safety Phase Classification System (IPC) in its report estimates that 514,000 people or nearly a quarter of Gaza's population will experience starvation. This number is expected to increase to 641,000 by the end of September.
About 280,000 of them are in the northern region which includes Gaza City's Gaza Governorship which according to IPC is being hit by hunger.
Starvation also occurred in Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis, the central and southern regions projected by IPC to be hit by starvation by the end of next month.

The IPC says hunger has been driven by fighting and aid blockades, and exacerbated by widespread evacuations and collapse of food production in Gaza, prompting hunger to a life-threatening level across the region after 22 months of war.
More than half a million people in Gaza, about a quarter of the population, face a very high level of hunger, and many are at risk of dying from causes related to malnutrition, the IPC report said.
Last month, the IPC said the "worst scenario of hunger" was taking place in Gaza, but had not yet issued an official decision.
